COMBlNED'SAUSAGE-STUFFER AND LARD OR JELLY PRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 720,391, dated February10, 1903.

Application filed April 28, 1902.

To all whom, it may concern:-

Be it known that I, MARY J VOGLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Tipton, in the county of Tipton and State of Indiana, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in a CombinedSausage-Stuffer and Lard or Jelly Press, of whichthe following is aspecification. V

The object of my invention is to produce a cheap yet efficient machinewith which casings may be stuffed with sausage or other chopped meatsand in which by slight change the machine may be made capableofexpressing the juices from fruits preliminary to the production of wineor jelly or for expressing lard from meat-fats.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved machine, the top beingremoved and a portion of the side wall being broken away to show theinterior construction. Fig.- 2 is a plan. Fig. 3 is a section on line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is an elevation of a removable screen to be usedwhen making lard and jelly.

In the drawings, 5 indicates a segmental barrel-like body, the wall 6 ofwhich is areshaped. A wall 7 is imperforate and leads from one end ofthe wall 6 to a central areshaped portion 8, while a wall 9 leads fromthe opposite end of the wall 6 to the portion 8 and is provided at itsbottom with an opening 10, from which leads a discharge-spout 11, whichis provided withfan extension 11, to" which the casings may be securedduring the process of stuffing the same. Arranged adjacent the opening.10 are screen-guards 12, the purpose of which will appear.

Extending upward from the bottom of bod y- 5 is a hollow cylindricalbearing 13, which extends about half of the height of the body,

nected to its spindle by a bar 15, which operates the follower from itsspindle, as shown. In order to prevent material from passing intoArranged in the bottom $erialllo. 104,919. (No model.)

the interior of the tubular bearing 13, I provide a sleeve 17, whichfits snugly within the tubular bearing 13, said sleeve being providedwith a vertical slot 18 at its upper end to receive the arm 15'. Spindle15 is provided near its upper. end with a flange or collar 19, a seriesof ratchet-teeth 20, and a poly onal end 21, to which may be attached anoperating-handle 22.

The body 5 is supported by suitable legs, and the said'body carries aplurality of lugs "23, to each of which is pivoted a pin 24, whichextends upward alongside the body and is provided at its upper end witha screw-threaded portion, upon which is placed a thumbnut 25. The upperend of the body is closed by a removable cover 26, provided with aplurality of pairs of ears 27, with which the thumb-nuts 25 may beengaged. Cover 26 is perforated to receive the upper end of any one ofthe spindles 15 and engages the flanges 19 thereof to hold the same inposition.

"Formed'on the inside of cover 26, surrounding the opening through whichthe spindle 15 projects, is an annular rib 26, which fits within andsecurely holds the tube 17 in position at its upper end. Cover 26carries a ratchet 28, adapted to engage the teeth 20 of any one of thespindles 15, so that the follower may be held in any position to whichit may be brought.

For the stufiing of sausages the follower 16 will be imperforate, andthe material to be forced into the sausage-casings will be placedbetween the follower and the wall 9, so that by swinging thefollowerfrom Wall 7 toward wall 9 the material-in the main body of the casingmaybe forced through the spout 11 11. When itis desired to use themachine for expressing lard or fruit-juices, cover 26 is removed and thefollower 16, togetherwith tube 17, withdrawn. The follower 16, which issuitably perforated, as shown in Fig.3,is then placed in position withits spindle 15 seated in the bearing 14 and tube 17 slipped over spindle15 and into the tubular bearing 13.

9, and the material to be pressed is placed between the follower andpartition 7 A suitable screen 29;"as shown in Fig. 4, is then placedover opening 10, being supported in position by the guides 12. After thecover The follower l6 is then swung around to wall.

has been readjusted and clamped in position by the thumb-nuts 25 thefollower 16 may be moved toward wall 7, so as to express the juices fromthe material and allow the same to run out of spout 11.

I claim as my invention 1. In a machine of the class described, thecombination of the main body forminga segmental annularreceiving-chamber, a discharge-spout leading from one end thereof, atubular bearing 13 arranged in the bottom of the body at the axisthereof, a removable cover, a follower adapted to fill the annularchamber transversely and carrying a spindle 15 connected thereto by bar15, suitable bearings carried by the bottom of the body and by the coverfor receiving any one of such spindles, and a sleeve 17 separable fromthe follower and adapted to fit within the tubular bearing 13 and toextend therefrom to the cover so as to protect the spindle,substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a machine of the class described, the

combination of the main body forminga segmental annularreceiving-chamber, a (lischarge-spout leading from one end thereof, atubular bearing 13 arranged in the bottom of the body at the aXisthereof, a removable cover carrying on its under side an annular rib, afollower adapted to fill the annular chamber transversely and carrying aspindle connected thereto by a bar, suitable bearings carried by thebottom of the body and by the cover for receiving said spindle, and asleeve 17 arranged to receive said spindle but separable therefrom andadapted to fit within the tubular bearing 13 and to extend therefrom tothe cover so as to protect the spindle, substantially as and for thepurpose set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and sea], at Tipton,Indiana, this 23d day of April, A. D. 1902.
